Recently, I had someone send me a PM to ask if I'd be interested in selling one of the games in my collection. This is the first time I've had this happen and it got me thinking.
How often has this happened to you? When it did happen, did you actually sell the game they requested? If so, did you price the game a bit higher because they came to you or did you price it like you would have if you were actually selling the game?
Have you done this before (asked someone to sell a game out of their collection via PM)? If you have, were you successful in getting the game you wanted? Did you get a reasonable price or did you have to pay a premium to get the game you wanted?
It seems like if you were actively trying to get someone to sell their game you'd have to pay a bit of a premium unless you got lucky enough to find the person that was thinking about selling the specific game you're asking about. I'd imagine that wouldn't happen very often.
Anyway, let me know what your experiences have been with this type of thing.
